Hey all, I'm new to the site and my agency is considering usig Moodle as our Learning Management System.
Since I'm a bit slow with development work (being a non-techie), I wanted to know how Course work gets into Moodle. Specifically, does Moodle let users (teachers, et al) create SCORM compliant courses in another software package and add them to the system?
I hope this makes sense. I'm just really beginning my search and didn't find much in the documentation which answered my question.
When I was on the demo site, I noticed you could add the modules. Since our focus wouldn't be in the educational field per se, I didn't know if Moodle would meet our needs.
From what you're saying, it sounds as if I would have all that I need to create the courses in Moodle without using the external software package.
SCORM is an industry standard in e-Learning. I'm not EXACTLY sure what it entails, but my higher-ups insist that whatever LMS we go with supports SCORM.
Fully half of the higherups in educational setting are in the same position as you Jason. Basically *IMHO they think that by creating courses in scorm they will not have to learn to use the delivery system. They are mistaken.
Ben,
That's exactly right. We're looking for flexibility in how we provid our courses.
We'd like to use a tool to build SCORM compliant courses (like Toolbook) that we can add to Moodle. If the angency I work for finds a solution they think is better, we'd like to be able to use the same files for both systems without doing any extra work.
